Kevin’s ePortfolio MET Site:
“An intelligent plan is the first step to success. The man who plans knows where he is going, knows what progress he is making and has a pretty good idea when he will arrive.”– Basil S. Walsh
Welcome to my online learning e-Portfolio website. At the moment, I am an intermediate technology teacher of over 900 students along with serving as network administrator. On a regular day I can be found running around between classes fixing computers, restoring deleted files, running network wires, taking photos for the yearbook, and updating the school’s website and twitter/flickr feeds.
Over the past 12 years in teaching I’ve had the opportunity to work with and assist teachers, school administrators, and district personnel with their technology plans to help further implement technology in the classroom. Below is a list of important blog posts, links, and videos that you may find helpful while you are browsing:
